If the Labour Party has a moral mission, it must be to eradicate child poverty.
I join the 11 unions affiliated to the Labour Party & the TUC, which represents six million workers, in calling for the two-child benefit cap to be immediately scrapped.
I will vote for it today.

Shocking but not surprising figures out today - we know that #babybanks up and down the country are tackling the immediate impact of children living in poverty. They shouldn't have to - @DWPgovuk has to do more to support struggling families.

🚨 Child poverty should not be normalised 🚨
Today, new shocking figures from @DWPgovUK show 100,000 more children are living in poverty than last year. There's no excuse for children to go without food, warmth, or basic necessities.
It's time for the UK government to scrap unfair policies like the #SiblingTax and improve the lives of thousands of families 👉bit.ly/47HZJaV
